The Manson Family Page #3

some kind of generalized love

and he never

even backed it up!

He sucked out!

Bullshit!

Love is the only weapon

with which Ive got to fight?

Ive got a hell of a

lot of weapons to fight!

Ive got my clothes,

Ive got compasses,

I got guns,

I got dynamite,

Ive got a hell

of a lot to fight!

Ill fight, Ill fight!

[Unintelligible]

I call on you

to stop this now,

if you have any

respect at all.

Are we Black, proud,

socialists, or what are we?

Hey now, that reminds

me of something.

Remember the bookstore

where I got the poster?

OK they had both of Charlies

Albums there, both of them.

On either vinyl or CDs.

Well, he finally

made the record bins.

I think its ridiculous.

Yeah, but did you buy them?

So Terry, what was it

like to talk to Charlie?

You could take him

in very small doses.

I mean, hed throw

ten things at you,

youd be on three,

hed be on seven and getting

real physical about it.

Hed, hed bend over,

hed pick up a

handful of rocks

and hed toss them

into the air and say

See, you can throw it all away

and itll come back to you.

Were flashing with

divine harmony this morning.

I just wrote two songs

while the sun was rising.

Very, very, Groovy.

Charlie was not

willing to sell out

to the Record producers,

which is the first and

most important requirement

before the industry is

willing to handle an artist.

Do you want

professional sound!

Maybe something you can use?

I suggest you get

in the booth and ...

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Whats the problem here, huh?

Many musicians say they

dont care about the money,

yet they commit themselves

to be at given places,

at certain times,

and to produce what sells.

Whether they

believe it or not.

Charlie didnt

want that success.

Charlie wanted success

on his own terms,

he didnt want

to be imprisoned.

I know whats best

for us man, I know!

Do you know anything about

the acoustics in this studio?

Do you know anything about EQ?

Do you know

anything about mixing?

I know about the Energy

Rays of a free love society,

and I know your cold

heartless technology

hasnt defined that yet?

Amen, Charlie.

But its there,

its here,

Its here, dig?

Like a thought,

its a thought,

its in a thought,

its in a thought

from me to you?

I dont have to

take this sh*t!

Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,

Jerry, Jerry cmon man!

Charlie, what

are you doing,

you dont go slapping people!

Well f*** you and

your bullshit Studio!

Hey, is that

what you think Man?

Charlie does things his way.

He dont conform to the pig

rules of the establishment.

So Terry, you worked in

the studio with Charlie.

Now youre his Producer.

What, what did you think

of him, as a musician,

as an artist?

Charlie was at the edge.

Just the whole sixties scene,

L.A.

Things kind of built

to a critical mass

and at one point,

I actually thought,

Well, maybe there is something

we could do with this, but,

But the music was

really crap, wasnt it?

Yes, the music was crap.

Were so formal

over here, on the BBC.

[Charlie singing]

Just come and

say you love me,

give up your world,

cmon, you can be...

I mean things looked

good for Charlie

and everybody was just goofing

with their

head in the clouds.

Well, we gave

up our own birthdays

and renounced our families.

Charlie didnt allow

any clocks, calendars,

or anything like

that on the ranch.

Dennis and Bobby

were donating food,

cars, women whatever.

It was always submit,

give something to Charlie.

Submit everything you had,

submit your ego.

If you do not give me

the deed to the ranch,

I will throw you on

the rail road track!

Ahaaaahhhhaaaaahhhhhh!

Help!

Save me, save me!

Wed just drop acid

and share out of this big

pile of clothes and costumes,

and role play the day away.

Changing situations

and characters.

Well, youre

all going to be clearing

out of here pretty soon,

because George is

getting real tired

of you giving his

ranch a bad name.

I dont understand

all you little creeps.

Charlies not Jesus Christ,

hes not the Devil.

Hes just a little con man,

hes spent half his

life in jail goddamn it!

Well once the bikers and

ex-cons moved onto the ranch,

it became a chop shop

for stolen cars,

and dune buggies.

And Shorty began taking

down license plate numbers.

Now Shorty was married

to this black go-go dancer,

and that just

burned Charlie up

because it went

totally against his

racial philosophies.

Hey you n*gger lover!

I heard your wife

takes it up the ass.

Is that true?

Well loose lips sink ships.

He never said,

in so many words

that he was Christ,

but he would imply.

Like, when hed look at me

and smile and hed say

Dont you know who I am?

I made love to

Charlie last night.

Yeah?

How was it?

Well, it was...

Cmon...

Like what was it like?

It was,

it was great.

It was kind of scary.

He said all these

really nice things to me.

Then when he

started to come...

he got real tense.

And then he climaxed

and I came but...

I got all...

tense.

It was like,

I couldnt move my arms

for about a minute at all.

I was paralyzed.

It was real scary.

Thats because

your ego was dying.

Until you give of

yourself completely,

and your egos dead,

you cant be at the now.

See what Im saying?

But it happens, you know.

Stop this nonsense.

Dont carry this on any more.

Youre exciting the children.

No, no sorrow that its over.

Im glad its over.

Hurry, hurry my

children, hurry.

Hold it down, weve got time.

Its an act of suicide,

commit an act of

revolutionary suicide.

We are now at

the end of reason.

We are motion itself.

We are eternal revolution.

If you get behind the

wheel youll kill us both!

Now give me the keys.

Give me the keys,

Ill be back in the morning.

No.

Give them to me.

No, Ill take us home.

Cmon have a drink.

I gotta go home.

Thanks for nothing!

Im sorry.

Hey Simi,

whats the matter?

Nothing.

Do you want some of this?

Hunh-uh.

Tex was trying

to please Charlie.

What are you doing?

Come here.

Charlie loved it

when they brought young

girls into the Family.

Young Love

is what he called it.

Go get me some young love.

Hey, Ill take you home,

Ill take you home.

Dont worry about it.

Ill get the keys to the

bread truck from Charlie.

Okay enough.

Go get the

keys from Charlie.

Only if you promise

to come to a party with me.

What party?

We throw parties

here all the time.

Everybody wants to meet you.

Just come to this one,

okay?

OK.

OK?

Terry was supposed to come in

and record us in our

natural environment.

Charlie thought a record

deal was coming too.

When I showed up,

the ranch was in full swing.

Yeah, we had

high expectations.

Charlie had us clean the

place from top to bottom.

We had zuzus,

hundreds of

joints were rolled.

And the girls,

well they prepared this

outstanding vegetarian feast.

The food that those

stores threw away

was perfectly good,
